Glass Door Installation

1. Refer to steps 1 and 2 of “Installation”. IMPORTANT: Contact a

professional glazier to cut out the opening for the pet door. Place a

bead of construction silicon around the internal section of the pet

door and on the surface around the cut out to provide a weather seal.

Note the tunnel partitions will need to be cut to size as per step 6 of

“Installation”.

TRAINING

1. Use a handful of your dog’s favourite treats, get your dog excited

about the treats by letting them sni and lick the treats without

actually giving them one.

2. Before starting your training, assess whether your dog would be

more motivated to come in through the pet door or go out through

it. If your dog loves being inside the house, you should start this

training with them outside. If they’re always excited to get a chance

to get outside, start with them inside the house.

3. With your dog on one side of the pet door and you on the other, lift

the ﬂap of the pet door all the way up and call them, using an excited

voice and with lots of animation. Wave the treats so they can see

them on the other side of the pet door.

Reward any attempt to come towards or through the door with lots

of verbal encouragement, but don’t let them have the treat until they

make it the whole way through.

4. When they come all the way through, pet and praise them, and give

them some treats! Then, leaving them where they are, go to the

other side of the pet door, lift the ﬂap and repeat the same exercise.

Do a few repetitions going each way then take a break. This training

can be stressful and exciting for your dog, so you should do short

sessions to avoid burning them out.

5. After your dog has had a break, repeat the exercise. If they’re coming

through with no hesitation, repeat the exercise holding the ﬂap up

only halfway. Your dog may be troubled by feeling the ﬂap touching

them, so you’ll need to use lots of verbal encouragement to convince

them that it’s no big deal.

6. Once they’re going through with the ﬂap halfway up, continue doing

short sessions with them, gradually lifting the ﬂap up less and less,

until you’re to the point where they’re pushing through the door on

their own.

7. Now try to get them to do it without you calling and oering them

treats. You can do this by leaving them on one side of the door and

scattering some treats on the ground on the other side of the door.

If your dog comes out on their own, you’ll know they’re getting the

idea. Repeat this for a few sessions, and you’ll soon ﬁnd that your

dog is using the pet door on their own.

WARNING

If your home has children as well as pets it is important to remember

that children can misuse the pet door and gain access to potential

hazards on the other side. You would certainly contravene municipal

laws and be found guilty of an oence if there was a swimming pool

on the other side of the pet door. You are further advised to be very

alert to any future hazards which may occur from time to time on the

other side of the pet door such as garden chemicals or insecticides

which, even if only put down for a few minutes, would be dangerous to

children. Remember that any closing panel or lock provided by Perma
